4:1 But the Spirit expressly says, Some will be withdrawing from the faith in later times, taking-heed to misleading spirits and teachings of demons,

4:2 through the hypocrisy from the speakers of lies, having been branded in their own conscience;

4:3 forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created *for reception with thanksgiving to the believing and those who have fully known the truth.

4:4 Because every created thing of God is good, and casting off nothing if it is received with thanksgiving,

4:5 for* it is made holy through the word of God and through petition.



4:6 If you suggest these things to the brethren, you will be a good servant of Jesus Christ, being nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching in which you have followed closely.

4:7 But renounce the profane and old-wives' fables and exercise yourself to devoutness;

4:8 for* bodily exercise is profitable for few things, but devoutness is profitable for all things, having the promise of life the current one and the future one.



4:9 Faithful is the word and worthy of all acceptance.

4:10 For* we are also laboring and are reproached toward this end, because we have hoped upon the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of the believing ones.

4:11 Command and teach these things.



4:12 Let no one despise your youth, but become an example of the believing ones: in word, in conduct, in love*, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

4:13 Until I come, take-heed to the public-reading, to the encouragement, to the teaching.

4:14 Do not neglect the gift* which is in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

4:15 Meditate on these things; be diligent in them; in order that your progress may be apparent in all things.

4:16 Take-heed to yourself and to the teaching. Abide in them; for* while practicing this, you will be saving both yourself and those who hear you.
